Our Key Curriculum Ambitions

When we consider each unique child, we can identify key areas of learning that we would like to foster, based on our school vision and knowledge of the most common learning needs of pupils as they enter our school. This helps us to form the key ambitions for our pupils as they move through the EYFS.  These are:

1. For all children to be confident and competent early readers.
2. For all children to be able to recognise and write their name.
3. For all children to be able to show care and empathy in line with our school vision.
4. For all children to be able to communicate effectively in a multitude of ways, including through music and performance.
5. For all children to be able to play together, finding ways to disagree well.
6. For all children to be able to develop a sense of spirituality, having a relationship with the natural world and knowing how things develop and grow around them.
7. For all children to know how they can grow to be safe and healthy.
8. For all children to know how to be independent in caring for themselves. 

For each of these strands, learning activities and outcomes are planned throughout the curriculum so that the children are able to build their skills towards cumulative endpoints.
